Punk and Ska Night at Colony Woodstock!

Pilfers - NYC ska-punk legends Pilfers have been bringing their self-described “Raggacore” sound to crowds since 1997, blending ska, reggae, punk, hardcore, rock, and dub into one explosive live show. Fronted by Coolie Ranx, formerly of The Toasters, Pilfers came out of the 1990s ska scene with members tied to bands like Bim Skala Bim, Skinnerbox, and The Erratics. With records like Pilfers and Chawalaleng, they built a devoted following and a reputation for high-energy, crowd-participation-heavy shows.

The Kingston Skanks: Kingston's Newest 7-piece ska band.

The Snorts: The Snorts are a Kingston, New York punk band with releases on Bandcamp going back to 2022, including Late to the Party, Dork Factor, pitter patter, and the 2026 single “FUCK IT UP.” They are a fast-paced melodic punk with pop-punk hooks, hardcore punch, and emo-edged urgency.

Couch Surfer: Formed in several iterations over the last decade, Couch Surfer is the power-punk outfit of songwriter Mark Buckley. Joined in 2025 by longtime collaborator Madison Steorts and a rhythm section featuring Tony DiMauro and Matt Joyce, their Kingston-based lineup has crystallized into a dynamic haze of thick guitars and pop sensibility.

DCxPC Live Punk Night at Night Swim

Menstrual Tramps - The Menstrual Tramps began playing basement shows and dive bars in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Their sound developed into a raw, hardcore street punk that punches you in the face over and over then stops before you had time to figure it out. The Menstrual Tramps are Chyna on guitar and vocals, Val on bass and Selena on drums. Their lyrics revolve around social and political issues like sexism, injustice, and inequality. The Menstrual Tramps have released 2 albums, Exploitation and No Hesitation No Defeat and 4 Eps, Toxic Shock, Late Night Riots, and Drunk Punks vs. Bloody Cunts, and Cutthroat. The Tramps live to tour, write songs, and support DIY punk rock. Catch the Menstrual Tramps on tour for more disruption and chaos.

Mental Weather - Based out of Troy, NY, Mental Weather is a punk band born out of a desire to make the world a better place. Members Tyler, Jay, Dylan, and Chris are heavily involved in their local music scene and have finally come together to rock and roll. With commentary on the current state of the world and driving riffs, drums, and bass, Mental Weather challenges their listeners to do their part to uplift their community while getting loud and rowdy.

Trouble Bound - HV punk rock veterans who mix the aggression of Rancid, with the storytelling of Social Distorion and the UK hooks of Cocksparrer.

Dropout Productions & DCxPC Live Present: Punk Night w/ Mickey Leigh's Mutated Music, Pajamazon, GSX, and Charles Bollin

THURSDAY JUNE 18, 2026

Doors 6pm | Show 7pm

$20 ADV/DOS

Colony Woodstock, DCxPC Live, and Dropout Productions continue their bi-monthly 'Punk Night' series.

MICKEY LEIGH'S MUTATED MUSIC

With the release of a slew of singles with his band MUTATED MUSIC, MICKEY LEIGH is taking steps. A longtime figure in the influential downtown New York City music scene, MICKEY is no longer content with being in the shadows. He's stepping into the spotlight with punk-pop-country-jazz and blues infused tracks that tell stories of colorful rock and roll lives. "These are 'The Stories That Never Got Told', so they never got old," states one of the key tracks. Of the heroine in "Little Cristine," MICKEY says "No. She ain't no ten. She's a number one." His modernized, "mutated" reworking of the classic civil rights/social-awakening song "If I Had A Hammer" boldly blares the powerful message calling for "justice, freedom and love between our brothers and our sisters" which is perfect for these troubled, frenetic and divisive times.

As he explained in his 2009 autobiographical family memoir "I Slept With Joey Ramone," MICKEY is inspired by his love of the music of the '60s. His life-long fever for rock & roll has never dampened, remains pure, and continues to fuel his drive to create great music. MICKEY LEIGH'S MUTATED MUSIC is brimming with tracks that have been called: "...instantly memorable, lyrically compelling, deceptively simple, hard-ass, life-loving songs full of emotional depth that deliver a punch far more intense than anyone could or would have expected...written with passion, played with precision, produced with perfection." MICKEY has been credited with "...the power pop instincts of a Tom Petty and the street smarts of a Jim Carroll...not to mention a bit of The Who, Dylan, Springsteen and...Elvis."

PAJAMAZON

Pajamazon from Woodstock, NY have been banging out their brand of fun, catchy, and melodic power pop/punk throughout the lower Hudson Valley, Capital Region, and beyond since 1995. Visit them on the web at Pajamazon .com and hear their song “Baby Tee” and Christmas single “Snoopy’s Christmas” on all download and streaming sites. As one reviewer put it, Pajamazon’s music stays crunchy, even in milk!

GSX

Sarah Greenwoodis an award-winning, critically acclaimed performer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. A Swiss-Brit transplant, Greenwood moved to NYC after graduating from Berklee College of Music. Her band, GSX, is known for its fiery live performances, from opening for Joan Jett at CBGB’s to playing to 50,000 in Reykjavik.

In 2025, GSX released three singles, receiving airplay on SiriusXM, WFUV, Sojourn Radio, and WFMU. The band’s debut album, Manifest, remains in regular rotation, particularly on SiriusXM.

A new GSX single is slated for release this spring, with a full-length album in the works. @gsxnyc

Fronted by lead vocalist and Saraswati veena player Abi Natesh, rock four-piece KulfiGirls includes her partner Joan on guitar, Stephanie Bruning on bass, and Adesola Ogunleye on drums. KulfiGirls began as a passion project. Through KulfiGirls, Natesh channels her South Indian heritage into a musical style that resists easy categorization. The band’s sound moves fluidly between heavy, melodic, exploratory, and traditional elements, blending distorted contemporary rock music with soaring veena solos inspired by ancient musical forms. Divinity centers this cross- cultural synthesis, presenting a bold new approach to Carnatic-influenced rock.

MEOW MEOW, a five-piece queercore rock band from New York’s Mid-Hudson Valley that blends emo, jazz, and punk in their original songs. Since 2019, they’ve been playing shows from Rochester to Brooklyn and across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. On 3/21 they released their sophomore album, A Tree to Wrap Your Car Around. With the help of DCxPC Live, they are embarking on their first tour starting in Philly on 4/13 and ending in Brooklyn on 4/18. They’ve been featured in outlets like Dying Scene, Chronogram, and Under Valley.

Pucker Up! is is three-piece punk band based in Scranton, PA. Their songs detail personal heartbreak and collective rage through channels of loud music. At the band's core is the act of joy as resistance, the sanctity of community, and a LOT of duct tape.

Christy Costello with Modern Natives and Cellmate – Live at Unicorn Bar (Kingston, NY)
Thursday, May 14 | Doors 7PM | Music 8PM

DCxPC Live presents a night of live music at Unicorn Bar in Kingston, NY featuring touring artist Christy Costello with Modern Natives opening the night and Cellmate closing out the local support. This show brings together touring talent and Hudson Valley artists for a dynamic evening of indie, rock, and genre-blending sounds in one of the region’s most exciting live music spaces.

Christy Costello brings her powerful songwriting and emotionally resonant performances to the Hudson Valley as part of her upcoming tour. Blending elements of indie folk with a punk spirit and deeply personal storytelling, Costello’s music moves fluidly between intimate moments and soaring intensity. Her expressive voice and honest lyricism create a live experience that draws audiences in from the first note.

Opening the night are Modern Natives, a band that has toured cross-country from Alaska to Florida and across Canada multiple times while living out of an old camper with their three cats and dog along for the ride. Now based full-time in New York’s Hudson Valley, Modern Natives brings that wild, road-worn spirit to every stage. Known for their genre-blending sound and unforgettable live performances, they continue to build a reputation as a must-see act throughout the region.

Closing out the local support is Cellmate, a Kingston, New York–based project comprised of Maria Alvarez and Steven Markota. The duo is backed by drummer Chris Gartmann and guitarist Jacob Kolbinski. Influenced by the energy of garage rock, the freedom of electronic music, and the ethos of punk, the group has created a collection of songs designed to electrify and excite audiences in a live setting.

Presented by DCxPC Live, supporting independent and touring artists in the Hudson Valley DIY music scene.

Join us on Wednesday, April 22nd for a night of live music with The Toasters, Tiger Piss, & The Hedons! Prepare for sounds reminiscent of 90s ska-punk & 80s rock, guaranteed to make you get out of your seat!

--
After 43 years, The Toasters are hitting the gas, not the brakes. With an international all-star line-up their whirlwind global tour continues unabated across the continents. Performances are scheduled in South America, Asia and Russia on top of regular touring in the USA, Europe and Canada.

Formed on the Lower East Side of NYC the band is the longest running US SKA formation. They bridge the gap between England’s 2-Tone movement and the American Ska explosion of the 90’s which they are rightfully credited with starting.  During the 3rd Wave Ska revival The Toasters formed the famous Moon Records label and kick-started the careers of dozens of bands.

--
Formed in the good old days of 2007 in New Paltz NY, Tiger Piss is back (and at least as good as ever), after a long hiatus spent focusing on their other music projects Red Neckromancer, Lara Hope & The Ark-Tones, and scoring piano music for films. This Kingston punk n' roll power trio has returned with a penchant for mayhem and loud rock, and are so happy to be back playing music from their 4 studio albums, and writing new angular, frenetic, and catchy tunes for the modern era. Drawing inspiration from their varied influences ranging from 80s hair metal, to riot grrrl, to classical, to showtunes and more, Tiger Piss is here to get weird with you!
--

The Hedons are a power pop band from Woodstock NY formed in 2025 by Macky Bowman (The Bobby Lees, Jon Spencer) and Jack Weiss featuring Storey Littleton (Ida, M0nogamy), Atticus Ramos Johnson and Aaron Kosinski.
